Here's a bad idea....

Robert "Tractor" Traylor, a former NBA player who is serving time in a halfway house for preparing a false tax return, is expected to ask a federal judge Tuesday to amend his probation conditions so he can try out for the Lakers, according to the Detroit News.

Traylor's Detroit attorney, Steve Fishman, filed a motion asking U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn to overrule the probation officer, saying the judge "clearly intended to give Mr. Traylor the opportunity to obtain an NBA contract and continue his professional basketball career."
